Finders Keepers

Chapter 21: One Last Word

BPOV

"Please, please, please, please, pleaseeeeeee!" Alice whined.

"Alice, you don't need Sophie and Grace as flower girls, you've already got Jaspers' niece and nephew, Peter and Charlotte, Rosalie's kids, Marcus and Carmen, Bree and Masen….you've got more kids in your wedding party than you do adults!" I told her while I was changed Grace's diaper. Alice was swaying Sophie in her arms gently.

"But Belllaaaaaaa! I want all the kids. It will be so cute having miniature groomsmen and bridesmaids," She pouted. "Please, you and Edward can each carry one! Please!" She begged again.

"I'll talk to Edward," I sighed, she clapped. "That wasn't a yes."

"But it will be!" She danced.

I looked down at Sophie. "Your aunt is driving me crazy."

Alice left shortly after one, proclaiming she had to pick people up at the airport. Even though the twins were just over two months they hadn't really been too far out of the house, they'd been to Maymay's and Pop Pop's house, and Grandpa Charlie's, but other than that, they were home bodies.

Edward came home from work at three in the afternoon while I was taking my nap, since the babies were asleep. It was evident from the beginning that Grace was a bit more of a challenge than Sophie, she was picky about who was holding her, and she didn't like to drink from a bottle- at all. There were really only two things that could really calm her down when she was upset, Edward and the mobile rocker and since Edward wasn't always home and he had to work, the baby rocker and I became fast friends.

Bree and Mase both loved having Sophie and Grace…..that was until they started crying or they were "smelly" as Bree would say. Edward woke me up at four thirty to get ready for Alice's rehearsal dinner. After I was presentable in a loose black top and a knee length black skirt, I walked into the nursery to get the twins dressed. I put them in white dresses with a pink little bow.

I felt two hands wrap around my waist and kiss the nape of my neck beneath all my hair. Edward picked up Sophie after handing me Grace to put them into their car seats. We ended up selling my car and bought another minivan, with all the kids we just couldn't fit into my little car. Edward and I agreed that we'd keep his car in the garage, for those nights when we didn't have the kids.

Once everyone was in their cat seats I sat in the passenger seat, Edward gave me a dirty look, walking over to my door and opening it.

"Out." He said, serious, but with deep humour in his eyes.

I climbed out of the seat and he shut it behind me.

"Edward, what are you-"

"I'm opening your door." He cut me off, yes, defiantly humour there.

I got back into the van, clicked on my seat belt and he kissed me sweetly before closing my door again. Grinning like an idiot. While we were driving to Esme's Edward explained to Masen that he was opening the door for me, why he asked why, he gave him a spiel about always treating women like princesses. I smiled, holding Edward's hand.

The twins had fallen asleep in their car seats so instead of jostling them we carried in the whole kit and caboodle. Bree helped carry in the diaper bag and Masen brought in the babies bottles. We were greeted with warm smiles inside and many hugs. I was summoned upstairs, Grace with me seeing as she woke up. Alice was in the bathroom so I sat down on the bed with Grace, cooing at her.

"You're such a pretty baby. Mommy loves you." I kissed her forehead.

Alice came back in and claimed her immediately, she made a little bit of fuss so we gave her, her sucky, otherwise known as a soother. Alice handed her to Edward when we saw Emmett holding Sophie. He wasn't exactly staying still. Sophie looked so tiny, even smaller than she actually was, in Emmett's giant arms.

"Yo! Edward check this out," he yelled, causing Sophie's lip to quiver, she wasn't used to Emmett yet. "This kids gonna be a great athlete, look at this grip."

He tilted her back to see, it made me jump.

"Uh, here Bella, you can have her back, she's crying." He basically threw her at me.

"Is big Uncle Emmett scaring you?" I cooed, giving her, her sucky.

"He scares everyone." Marcus rolled his eyes walking past me, everyone laughed at that.

Masen pulled on my shirt.

"Mommy, can I hold her?"

I told him to sit on the couch and he did, I shifted Sophie to one arm gently and propped a pillow up for her on Masen's lap, I set her gently on top of him, telling him to be extremely careful. Everyone Awww'ed at the sight and I made a mental note to go get some family pictures done, after a few minutes Sophie started to fuss so Mase willingly gave her back.

We sat down and had a good dinner, until the end of the night when Alice asked me how my toast was coming along, the look on my face clearly stated that I had no idea what she was talking about. People were getting into their cars and Edward had taken Bree and Masen, leaving me with the twins and Alice.

"Bella!' She freaked. "You're my maid of honour, how can you not have a speech?"

"I, well I don't know," I stumbled. "I guess I just got caught up with the twins and all but I promised there will be a kick ass speech tomorrow."

"There better be," She grumbled, and then looked down to Grace, who was in her arms. "Your Mommy better make Aunt Alice one very happy person or your Mommy won't be."

"Don't threaten my daughter." I laughed and rolled my eyes.

Charlie walked over to Alice and I, they chatted a lightly as I put Sophie in her car seat and then as Alice handed me Grace I buckled her up too, setting their car seats at my feet and leaving their little blankets over top them, it may have been the dead of summer but it was still chilly at night.

Edward walked over and wrapped an arm around my waist, kissing my temple. Charlie glared at him and when Jasper came over, he glared at him too. There was something under the glare though. I sent Edward to put the twins in the car and Alice went with Jasper to get Charlotte and Peter from inside the house, I leaned on my Dad's shoulder, he loosely put an arm around me.

"What's a matter?" I asked him softly. "Alice is getting married tomorrow, I am happily married with for amazing kids and I've got you as a Dad, now tell me why you're glaring at Edward and Jasper."

"I'm losing my daughters." He shrugged sadly.

"What are you talking about; Alice and I are not going anywhere." I stated.

"Well, you've got Edward and she's got Jasper, you just don't need me anymore," I could see his eyes getting red around the edges.

"Dad its okay, were just growing up, that's all." I hugged him, holding back tears of my own. "You couldn't get rid of us if you tried, stuck for life and all that, don't cry Daddy" I said in a small voice.

"Who's crying?" He growled, hugging me back.

"No one," I laughed. "I will see you tomorrow Dad, I love you."

He walked me out to the van where my family was waiting for me. As we drove home I started to think about why Charlie was getting so emotional about losing Alice and I at her wedding, we'd already done mine.

I guessed it had something to do with the fact that Alice was really the Baby of our family. Her parents sometimes didn't understand Alice- not that anyone really understood her- but at least we made an effort. They had become very close over time, Charlie considered her his second daughter. Alice and I were finally moving on though, I would have to remember that we'd have to have weekly dinners or something.

Edward stopped the van outside the house, and I opened my eyes lightly, realizing I had falling asleep. He walked around to open my door. Kissing me lightly on the lips, I got out of the van realizing everyone was asleep except Grace who was looking up at us with one of the oddest expressions; it was like we had just told her the secret of life. We laughed quietly as Edward went to pick up her whole care seat when I stopped him.

"Just take her out, the car seat can stay here, I'll go get Sophie."

Edward stopped me, so I grabbed Masen, carrying him into the house was a lot different than carrying the twins, he was quite a bit heavier. I laid him down in his bed sitting on the edge, looking at him sleeping. Someday- when he was old enough- I'd thank him for setting me up with Edward in his weird little way. I kissed his forehead and he started to stir as I left the room, he sat up on his bed.

"Mommy?" he asked quietly, I walked back to his bed.

"Yes Mase?" I asked.

"I want to be a Doctor."

"Why?"

"Daddy is a Doctor and I wanna be like him when I grow up."

"That's really sweet Mase," I kissed his forehead. "But you can still be anything you want to be."

"Well I want to be like Daddy."

And with that he drifted to sleep, I couldn't believe how sweet my little boy could be. I ran back outside to get Bree out of the van while Edward was just brining both twins into the house; I kissed his cheek as I passed him, promising to be up soon. I carried Bree into the house as I did Masen and laid her on her bed. She was out solidly, not making any type of fuss when pulled the covers over her.

I walked back to my room when I heard Edward humming quietly in the nursery. I peered in the doorway. He had both girls, one in each arm rocking back in forth humming some unfamiliar tune. I stood there for a few minutes just watching, I eventually walked away and put on my pyjamas.

"Two months old and our daughters already sleep the whole night." He yawned.

We passed out in what seemed like a matter of seconds after our heads hit the pillows.

"FINALLY!" Emmett boomed as Jasper and Alice kissed.

Rosalie slapped him across the back side of the head.

"Do you have to say that at every wedding you attend?" she snapped.

We all congratulated them as they walked down the aisle, Edward and I each had a baby in our hands so we couldn't exactly maul them like Emmett did. Sophie and Grace just looked up at everyone in awe, they weren't use to seeing so many people, and it made me relieved to see that they weren't too overwhelmed. All of the kids were sitting together at the front of the rows, the girls stating how pretty they looked and the boys complaining about the outfits. I walked over to get Mase and Bree to go, Edward and I would be going to the reception for a little bit, not too long because we had the kids and I wasn't comfortable leaving them with a sitter yet.

We'd just finished the cake when Alice decided it was time for the speeches. Surprisingly Emmett went first, why Alice gave him a mic, I'd never know.

"Hello, I'm Emmett and I'm an IMAAS survivor." He started, totally serious; everyone didn't have a clue what he was talking about. "In case you don't know what that means, IMAAS means; I met Alice and survived." Everyone laughed. "We all know Alice to be…..well Alice to say the least. Let her have a long and happy marriage to one of the craziest men I know. To Alice and Jasper. "

It was my turn. I was so nervous. "Hi, I'm Bella and I'm and AE. If you don't know what that is, I understand. I've only met a handful of AE's. It stands for an Alice Embracer…..if that makes any sense. You learn to love Alice, you learn to get used to the twelve hour shopping trips- those are the short ones- and you learn to turn your phone off at night to avoid her waking you up in the morning. That is, unless you're a dumbass who gave her a key." I chuckled and pointed to myself. "Alice has been my best friend for as long as I can remember and she's always been there for me. Whether she's putting a smile on my face or threatening to beat up the kid who put the frown there, my point is…..we all need an Alice. I just happen to have the original. By the way Jasper, just because you're marrying her doesn't mean you have exclusive rights, I get her every other weekends and Tuesdays and Thursdays." Everyone laughed, Jasper bowed his head and Alice was pretending to be upset.

"Don't I get a say in this?" Alice wailed.

"No, now don't interrupt. This is about me." I winked, which caused everyone to laugh again.

"But seriously guys, I don't know what I would have done without her, she's my best friend forever and now she's all grown up marrying some gorgeous model and she's a wonderful Aunt to my kids. So if everyone would raise their glasses with me and make a toast, to the bride and groom." I exclaimed.

"To the bride and groom." They all chorused.

Edward and I had a couple dances together before the twins started to get fussy and Mase and Bree had nearly fallen asleep in their chairs, along with the rest of the kids.

"You know, we can just take them all Alice. Really, go enjoy your wedding oh, and tell Rosalie we've got her children."

We bundled up all the kids and we ended up having one less seat so Masen curled up in my lap. When we got home we put them all to bed. Sophie and Grace went straight to sleep and I lied down on the bed, almost falling asleep as my head hit the pillow….for the first five minutes. Grace started crying; well screaming would have been more accurate.

"I'll get her." Edward kissed my forehead.

He was gone for a few minutes and came back to bed with both babies in his arms, not crying. He put them into the bed with us that often seemed to calm them down, Sophie fell asleep after a few minutes and Grace just looked at Edward and I, the last thing I heard was Edward humming the unfamiliar lullaby I'd heard him hum before.

I woke up early in the morning the next day and decided to start making breakfast for everyone, Sunday's were family days and we always played Monopoly, I grabbed it down from the top of the fridge.

"What are you doing Mommy?" Bree asked.

I threw the Monopoly box in the air as a result from her scaring me. I placed my hand over my heart- which was beating in overdrive.

"Jeeze Bree," I laughed. "Don't scare me like that."

She giggled and helped me pick up the Monopoly pieces off the floor and put the box by the couch so we could play later. She walked back into the kitchen and helped me cook breakfast when we heard a knock at the door. I walked over to see who it was with Bree behind me, we didn't allow them to open the doors by themselves anymore unless we knew who its was right away, but we weren't expecting anyone to be at our house at eight.

"Hi girls!" Esme smiled at us, walking in.

"Hi Esme, what are you doing here so early?" I asked, closing the door as she hung up her jacket.

"Carlisle had to go in for something at the hospital and I couldn't sleep, I thought I would come over to see all my grandkids." She smiled while giving Bree a big hug.

"Okay, we'll I was just making breakfast, would you like some?" I offered.

She accepted and even helped me make it- against my protests. Edward came down with Grace shortly after and Esme claimed her as he went back upstairs to get Sophie as she had just started crying. Masen came down with his pyjamas on backwards and his hair looked like a hay stack.

"Nice hair," I laughed.

He shrugged and came over to kiss me on the cheek, very Edward of him. I smiled and he sat down at the table next to Esme. Edward came down with Sophie and grabbed a bottle to feed the twins. He sat down on one of the kitchen chairs and was completely absorbed by her. I walked over and kissed his cheek. I could feel his smile under my lips, when I heard a knock again. Edward went to get and I went to get the toast out of the toaster. My Dad walked in with Edward.

"Welcome, apparently I'm hosting breakfast today," I smirked. "Take a seat Dad."

Bree and Masen were smiling huge at having Grandpa Charlie over and Maymay and the grandparents had officially monopolized them as well as the twins. Edward came over and kissed the back of my neck.

"Good morning, Love." He said softly. I turned around and before I could say good morning back properly I noticed Charlie's glare. I felt my face heat up as I looked over Edward's shoulder.

"What?" I asked innocently.

"Nothing," He said, looking away.

I laughed. "And exactly how do you think Sophie and Grace got here?"

"Magic." He huffed.

I rolled my eyes at him and kissed Edward lightly on the lips, lightly because my kids- not to mention my father- were in the room. I served breakfast to everyone; Edward put both of the twins into the mobile rockers near us while we ate.

"Look! She's smiling!" Masen exclaimed as Edward was putting Grace in her swing.

Everyone but Edward and I got up to see, we had seen her smile the other night as I was talking to them. I looked around my table to see my family. I had a family, it was completely perfect, a little loud, full of fun and something only you would read about in books or watch on t.v, but either way….I had it. I kissed Edward hard on the lips as everyone was distracted.

"I love you." I breathed.

"Forever." He replied, pulling my face back to his.

*The End.*
